In reply to Should I try bupropion (Wellbutrin)? serot effect?, posted by Franz on April 15, 2012, at 19:46:03
Franz,
I didn't know that Wellbutrin (bupropion) indirectly affected the firing of serotonergic neurons, but what you quoted from Wikipedia seems to make sense.
I didn't feel particularly stimulated when I took Wellbutrin SR, but some people do report feeling significantly more stimulated and energetic on the medication. I think that it would be worth trying to see if it might give you a meaningful boost in energy.
Anxiety wasn't a significant problem for me when I took Wellbutrin, but I would say that if the medication had any effect on me anxiety wise that it might have made it a little worse. Mostly, Wellbutrin didn't have much of an effect on my mental well being.
